Resources for Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health Programs in Developing Countries

The full report is only available in [PDF].

Preface

The 2001 edition of Funding the Future: Resources for Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health Programs in Developing Countries updates and expands Advocates’ 1994 publication of the same name.

The new edition was prepared following extensive, worldwide outreach to over 100 organizations that provide financial assistance (directly or indirectly) to programs and events focused on adolescent reproductive and sexual health (ARSH). A twopage questionnaire elicited a description of each organization, its priority geographic region and/or countries, its general purpose, types of projects supported, and application procedures. In addition, Advocates gathered information via the Internet.

Funding the Future is divided into four sections.

• Part I — foundations, mostly based in the United States, providing financial assistance to programs in developing countries
• Part II — governmental agencies providing financial assistance to programs in developing countries
• Part III — international agencies and nongovernmental organizations providing financial assistance to programs in developing countries, often through mini-grant programs
• Part IV — adolescent reproductive and sexual health programs and Web links, including sites focusing on adolescent reproductive and sexual health issues and sites specifically for youth activists and other youth.

Finally, four appendices focus on fund raising, proposal writing, recommended resources, and additional Advocates publications.
